Welcome to the photography blog of Melanie McDonald ! I'm a professional artist, my life is divided between my home in Newquay, Cornwall and my renovation project - an 18th Century farm - in North Brittany, France. My inspiration comes from the beautiful beaches, skies and seas of Cornwall, Brittany and Scotland. This is where I share my photographs, I hope it inspires you.

My Cornwall - Fistral Beach High Tide

The name Fistral, (first recorded in 1813), comes from the Cornish word for 'foul water', ('bystel'). On this day, Fistral's golden sand had all but disappeared under a gorgeous seablue and aqua high tide, the water looked stunning. A walk along Cornwall's premier surf beach has never failed to revitalize and inspire me ... nothing 'foul' to report today .... thankfully ....
